I suggest only that if you are going to go to all
the trouble of writing a program, at least write
a program you can read and understand. The GUI Builder
builds GUIs. That is very different then writing
programs with a GUI interface. My thoughts on this
topic are well known:

http://www.dfanning.com/widget_tips/gui_builder.html

(I will caution that article is fairly old now, and
things have improved slightly since then. But the article
is still accurate enough, I think, to make a valid point.)

Widget programming is not hard. Anyone can learn to
do it. But you probably need a couple of pieces of
information you can't find in the IDL documentation.
There are several good IDL books that will help a LOT. :-)

Cheers,

David
